The last thing Jilda and I watched last night was a Weather forecast. Bad idea. I woke up just after midnight with a nightmare. My heart was pounding. It took a minute to fall asleep.
The morning was pretty much shot as we stayed glued to the TV watching the weatherman. Three people in a county to the southwest of here died when a tornado touched down in their rural community.
My cellphone buzzed at 12:38 p.m. saying the National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for my area. We rounded up the critters and headed to our safe place.
We heard the chimes on the back deck doing an angry tune and thunder rattled the knick-knacks on the mantel. Our lights fluttered as if they couldn't make up their minds whether they wanted to stay or go with the wind. Thankfully, they stayed on. After about 20 minutes the storms moved off to the east in a huff.
